thanks for the great advice!
Seems a lot of us work from home. it has it's benefits as well as disadvantages. Seems the common theme in advice is discipline: setting working hours and sticking to them.
I've set up my office, managed to get "to work" by 7 a.m. and stay there. Luckily, my girlfriend is being very supportive about realizing that I am working and not just at home.
